"I don't mean any harm, she just bumped into me and I helped her-yoi," He said, slowly putting his arms down, smirk still on his face, "But I've got to ask, what is Monkey D. Luna, the Fenrir, doing here? On an island that is under the protection of the Whitebeard pirates-yoi?"
Luna stared in awe at the older male and Zoro scowled.
"Who are you?" Zoro asked.
Before Marco could introduce himself, Luna beat him to it with, "He's Marco the Phoenix! The first mate of the Whitebeard pirates!"
It was clear from her voice that she was excited, and Zoro stared in confusion, since when did Luna memorize the names of the pirates out there.
Marco looked at Luna, "That's a surprise; you're known to not know the names of any pirates you cross. Saying that you don't remember the names of those not important to you-yoi."
Luna shrugged, "True. But my older brother talks highly of you guys, so I caught some of the names."
Zoro relaxed a bit, Luna's older brother is Shanks, and if she heard about Marco from him then he isn't a bad person.
Luna moved forwards and caught Marco's hand into hers. "Hey! Can you tell me stories about your adventures?"
Marco got a confused look, glancing at Zoro, who in return just shrugged.
"Why wanna hear them from the first mate, when we can go to the captain and ask him himself about all the stories?" Zoro suggested.
Luna looked even more excited, but then deflated. "I can't meet him like this."
Marco didn't understand, but Zoro did, so he just nodded. Luna wouldn't want to meet Whitebeard while she was a marine, she wanted to meet him when she became a captain of her own pirate crew and would be considered as a rival. "Alright." Then he looked to the pirate, "You probably should just tell her stories so she'll be satisfied and leave you."
Marco just nodded slowly in confusion. Luna cheered and started dragging both the blond pirate and her friend towards a restaurant.
Marco stared incredulous at the marine. He had recognized her at first glance, how can he not when she suddenly appeared two years ago out of nowhere, only for it to be announced that she is the granddaughter of Garp the Fist. She is a marine captain, and it is confusing that she is still in this position even though it has been proved that she is stronger that that position. But it had seemed that the Five Elders favor her due to all the freedom they provide her. When he saw her blush at him, he couldn't help the smirk from appearing. She was a beautiful woman, and while he wouldn't mind pursuing her, he didn't want to force himself on a young woman who could not have even become legal, not that legality matters to him as he's a pirate, but he knows when not to cross a line. And she's a marine, who is close to the government, now that would be dangerous.
But as he watched how she acted, he couldn't help but be reminded of Roger and a certain red haired pirate. Maybe it's because of the look in her eye. Marco wonders why someone with that gaze is with the marines.
Once they had arrived to a restaurant, Luna looked as if she had remembered something. So, she let go of both males, and ordered Zoro not to move from his place as she took out a small DenDen mushi from her pants' pocket. She dialed a number, not having to wait for too long as the person on the other end answered.
"Did you find Zoro?"
The voice was that of a female, and at the question Zoro had scowled. Marco chuckled with Luna at that expression.
"Yup!" Luna replied, "We're in a restaurant right now. I'll try not to let him leave my sight!"
The other girl sighed in annoyance, "Alright then, listen here, this island belongs to an Emperor, and we just want to restock our supplies, so please don't cause any trouble."
Well, seems like Marco found out why they're here.
"Okay!" Luna chirped and just ended the call before there was anything else to be said. She turned to Zoro, "We'll stay here for now, I wanna eat and you can drink then after the others are done restocking, we'll leave."
Turning to Marco, "So, won't you join us?"
Marco let out a small laugh, grinning at the younger girl making her blush slightly. "Well, you dragged me here already, so why not-yoi?"
Zoro, to his horror, saw the interaction between them. His captain is blushing, this was a first, she never blushes at all, maybe in a few situation from embarrassment, but this is not embarrassment.
'Please... Please don't be a crush.' Zoro begged to himself, 'If this is a crush, Garp and Shanks are going to kill me.'
"Zoro, What's with you?" Luna asked her best friend when she saw his horrified expression.
Zoro turned his gaze to stare blankly at Luna, "Please think, Luna. Don't get me killed by your big brother and grandfather."
Luna looked confused, "What? Why will they want to kill you?"
Now this made Zoro look to Marco, eyes looking at the blond with pity, "Wait, maybe they won't kill me. They will probably attack him."
Marco tensed up. Who is going to attack him? Garp and who?
"Why will Jii-chan and Nii-chan attack Marco?" Luna also tensed up, "I like him, and I don't want him to die."
Marco felt a blush creep up to his cheeks at her latter sentence. And Zoro sent them a deadpan look, "This, right here," the gestured between the pair, "Whatever is going between you too, is what is gonna get him killed by your overprotective family."
Oh.
Oh.
Luna felt a full-on blush take over her face and Marco's own blush deepened. Ok so the reason he was in danger right now is because apparently the younger one is interested in him? Marco felt himself relax at this, and he could feel the slight fluttering in his stomach.
Huh.
This is unexpected.
"I don't wanna deal with this." Zoro grumbled to himself, walking towards the counter to order some beer for himself and after he got what he wanted, he sat in the corner of the restaurant, as far away from Luna and Marco.
Marco stared in bewilderment, what he first thought of Zoro was that he was overprotective over his captain. So why leave her alone with a pirate. A Commander of the Whitebeard pirates as well.
Luna seemed to have noticed his confusion, "Zoro trusts that you won't attack me, you are from the Whitebeards after all. And besides... If you do attack me, he knows that his captain can take care of herself."
Marco grinned at her reply, "Well then, Captain Fenrir-"
Luna flinched at the name, and Marco had noticed that. He sent her a worried look. Does she not like the name Fenrir? People say that it signifies her strength, does it not?
"Just call me Luna, not Fenrir." Luna whispered, her voice had anger laced with it, but it didn't seem to be directed at him. Her eyes looked angry yet sad, not an expression he thought he would see on a girl to looked to always be cheerful.
He felt himself nod in response without even thinking of it, "Uh, yeah sure."
Luna's mood made a switch, and she went back to grinning at him, this time brighter. She let out a laugh of "Shishishi" and leaned towards Marco. She laid a peck on him cheek, and pulled back.
Marco went back to blushing. What's with this girl making him blush?
"I like you." Luna announced, "Go out on a date with me."
And at that moment her crew entered the restaurant, and saw the interaction, and the three each let out an exclamation of "WHAT?!" While Zoro sighed into his drink.
"Oh I-," Marco stuttered, not sure how to respond. He didn't expect to be asked out, that the girl would be this bold, but he also didn't expect for him to slip out a "Sure" either.
And it was then that Luna got herself a boyfriend, who from that moment started to fall for her. But right now, it's not love. But it will be, in the near future.
